192B

Specifying IP address ranges for a DHCP address pool

You can configure both static and dynamic address allocation mechanisms in a DHCP address pool. For

dynamic address allocation, you can specify either a primary subnet with multiple address ranges or a
primary subnet with multiple secondary subnets for a DHCP address pool, but you cannot configure

both.

Specifying a primary subnet and multiple address ranges for a DHCP address pool

Some scenarios need to classify DHCP clients in the same subnet into different address groups. To satisfy

this need, you can configure DHCP user classes and specify different address ranges for the classes so
that the clients matching a user class get the IP addresses of a specific address range. In addition, you

can specify a common address range for the clients that do not match any user class. If no common

address range is specified, such clients fail to obtain IP addresses.
If there is no need to classify clients, you do not need to configure DHCP user classes or their address

ranges.
Follow these guidelines when you specify a primary subnet and multiple address ranges for a DHCP

address pool:

If you use the network or address range command multiple times for the same address pool, the
most recent configuration takes effect.

IP addresses specified by the forbidden-ip command are not assignable in the current address pool,
but are assignable in other address pools. IP addresses specified by the dhcp server forbidden-ip

command are not assignable in any address pool.
